 Had to join C & CC on arrival and was offered a hot drink whilst I filled out the form. Good information point with lots of leaflets in the reception area. Small onsite shop selling the basics along with surf style clothing and crocs shoes.
The toilet block is immaculate and always clean. Always plenty of hot water and no queues even though this was in school hols. Separate family bathrooms.
Dishwash also kept clean, again always hot water available and enough sinks all with double drainers.
Very spacious pitches all clearly marked. Prices reasonable even after joining fee. Good recycling facilities and wetsuit wash.
We booked for 7 nights and for the first time ever came home after 5 nights. This wasn't due to anything wrong with this site - it was the weather. As mentioned previously when the wind blows here watch out! We returned after going out one day to find our awning leaning precariously to one side and someone had kindly banged in a couple of extra pegs for us. Definately recommend delta anchors here. Think thats what stopped us blowing away. A tent 2 pitches away had snapped all its metal poles! Also where we'd had so much rain, the water didn't seem to drain away. Stepping out into the awning each morning, the water would ooze up over your feet- they don't like you using groundsheets unless the are breathable.
Would definitely return here if the weather was guaranteed to be good. Although Woolacombe/Morthoe always gets the better of me, so will probably be back soon. Great chip shop, coffee shop and pasty shop only ahort drive away in Woolacombe. Good pubs serving food closer to site.

Had a great weekend at this site.The coastal views were lovely which was helped by a sunny weekend.
Good walks for the family/dog,took about 2 hrs to walk from the site to the lighthouse, and then along the coastal path to Mortehoe Point and Mortehoe.
Had a good lunch time meal and real ale at the Chichester in Mortehoe, followed by a forty five minute walk back to the site.
The site itself was well kept and staff were friendly,the only downside for us was the lack of any childrens playground other than an open field.

Excellent site, spacious pitch and good facilities.
Lovely walks to the villages of Lee and Mortehoe where you will find pubs and tea rooms to quench your thirst!
Only stayed three nights but we would certainly go back and stay longer as this is such a lovely area to visit.
Highly recommended.

Very pretty site, very clean, great shop and spectacular views of the Bristol Channel and the Welsh coastline. For the first 24 hours we thought it was one of the best sites we have ever visited until the winds arrived. They came overland from Exmoor and only seemed to effect the middle of the site. The toilets and shop were calm, the very bottom of the field was calm, the surrounding area of North Devon was beautiful but the middle rows of pitches were battered 24 hours a day - we all had sleepless nights and snapped poles. We tried moving to a more sheltered pitch but couldn't escape it using those available (the pitches at the top of the field are for caravans). I would love to go there again, but not in a tent. Sorry Damage Barton.

Lovely site, unfortunately we couldn't have chosen a worse day to stay, high winds and torrential rain. However, we found the site clean, the toilets/showers were immaculate, with plenty of hot water. The on site shop baked it's own pasties and bread and was well stocked with essentials. Will definitely be returning.

A very friendly site, during some very brutal weather
the caravanners constantly checked that we were ok,
a real community with a community shop to boot!
The views and walks are excellent and are easy enough for most people, loads of wildflowers skylarks and other birds
Fish and chips at Illfracombe are very good

Don't tell anyone, but this is a great site. The best and cleanest shower facilities I have come across in this country, no coins or tokens just endless fast flowing hot water and a separate area for rinsing wet-suits etc.
No club or bar (thank goodness) or in fact any other facilities apart from a fantastic on site family run shop which is like a tardis, how he manages to stock the range of goods in that small space is beyond me. Great fresh pastries and pasties cooked on site daily. A fine range in bottled St. Austell Breweries beer and also latest Saltrock surf fashion at very good prices.
The site is very exposed to the wind (impossible to pitch the tent on day 1) but has as a consequence fantastic views of the sea and sunsets.
A good starting point for a various walks along the coast.
We'll be back!

Excellent site with great walks from the site.The Staff are very helpful and the shop is very reasonably priced. It can be quite windy if you are out in the open but the views are fantastic especially at sunset.
The toilets and showers were spotless with plenty of hot water and a family room with a bath for children.
The nearest Pub is in Morthoe.
We walked to Woolacombe via Mortoe and returned via Twitcham. This walk was along the Donkey path where you could look out across the bay, and a couple of seats for a welcome rest.
The beach at Woolacombe had golden sand with rides for small children. Also lots of places to get something to eat. Bus service operates Monday to Saturday.
We are looking forward to our next visit.

Have just returned from not camping at this site. The site looked lovely, spacious and clean, with fantastic views and friendly and helpful
staff.But a word of warning for those in tents - this site is exposed and consequently can be VERY windy. We booked to stay for two nights however on arrival realised we would never get the tent up as the wind was so strong. The only other tent had gone home that morning as their poles had snapped. I was informed, when I enquired on leaving that it could be 'breezy' at any time of the year. This is a beautiful site, but more of a risk for those in tents if you've travelled a long distance to get there and no refund is given (!)

Good site. Fabulous views out to the sea. We went in March and the site was very quiet, I would imagine in high season it is very popular so we would prefer to use it in low season. Clean showers and loo's. Great little on site shop with friendly owner, hubby even bought a pair of "crocs" shoes from there - excellent value.
The site is in a great area for touring north Devon, Ifracombe is a short drive away, as is Woolacombe - be aware the parking for the beach is extortionate (even in March they wanted £3.50 to park) we refused and drove on to Saunton Sands and paid £2, still a rip off though!

We didn't actually stay on this site - unfortunately we were on a neighbouring site - but we poked our nose in and were made very welcome by the owners who invited us to look around at leisure.
We were extremely impressed with the stunning views available to all, what a sight to open the blinds to first thing in the morning. Lots of spacious pitches, excellent facilities kept in immaculate order. We were also impressed with how the owners had made such efforts to provide information of local events and local points of interest. This site is run with a passion, we will definitely be paying a visit soon.

Lovely site with great views over to wales. Toilet/shower block was immaculate and the campsite shop was well stocked with local produce.
Mortehoe is about a 20 minute walk away via a footpath through the fields and Easewell park. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was no park for the kids to play in but they just played around the tent. There was plenty of space and the site traffic was minimal sticking to the 5mph speed limit. Only people actually staying in the site could enter due to an automatic barrier with a number to open it. Nice and quiet at night. We tried to rebook for August but it was full, highly recommended

This is a fantastic site, the panoramic views of the sea are excellent. There is so much you can do with out having to take the car,coastal footpaths to enjoy and there are cycle routes such as the Tarka trail and plenty of quiet roads. For those with young children it depends on what they like, if you want a beach then there are plenty of larger and far busier sites that we looked at near Woolacombe. You couldn't fault the facilities they were 4****, we have been spoilt, the trouble is you expect this at other sites!

Excellent site run by very friendly people with excellent washing / shower / toilet facilities. We hope we'll be going again.
On the downside for those with young families, there's nothing actually on site for young children to do; there are some very interesting rocky coves a long (but very nice!) walk away and there are no cycle paths near enough to get the kids to - so you will need to use the car to get to the sandy beaches (and into the surf) of Woolacombe itself.

A highly recommended site, views across the sea to Swansea on a clear night are really lovely. Is as described by previous campers with one addition, if you are lucky to have a glorious day and go to Woolacombe beach, go early as traffic into town gets rather heavy. Also advise a trip to Lee Bay just around the corner very quiet and quaint.
